@bburbank I replayed it a bit. It's still such a great game !
I tried Opposing Force and Blue Shift and none of them work on my linux :-/
@bburbank that’s awesome! Hopefully some day these classics will be playable on modern Macs 🤞
This is going to be a long story about Half-Life.
24 years ago I was working on a computer science assignment to build a phone book application in desktop Java. It was a pretty decent portion of the grade for the class. I seriously hated working on it, I saw a future of typing up code for phone companies or banks or law offices. I wanted to make video games and it was hard to see how this had even a dotted-line connection to that end goal.
